Oracle VM VirtualBox: Ticket #453: NumLock, CapsLock(+ScrollLock?) sometimes broken => Fixed in 1.5.4https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/453
<p>
Perhaps after playing a DirectX game in the host this 2(3) keys seperately didn't work right in guest/host system (both actual Windows XP).
They stay in one of the state (most seen with CapsLock) and I must look in the host/guest system where the key is "locked" -&gt; after then the key works normal again.

I don't think gaming/DirectX has anything to do with it. I have both XP and Vista and both have this problem, and I'm not doing anything directly with DirectX. If the host has the CapsLock, etc, key on that is the way the guest sees it.

Please reopen: when I strike CapsLock only once in Guest OS (Windows XP, or Windows Vista or Windows 7), there's no way to disable it (and the CapsLock LED remains lightning, so I can only type capitals) : I need to swirch to the host desktop in order to disable the CapsLock state, then to return to the Guest.

There's still a bug in VBOX 3.0.58, so if this was fixed in the past, the bug has come back.
